Ahmed Raza Khan - Vichitra Veena - Recordings from All India Radio

We pointed out this great master of the Vichitra Veena in a post in 2013, without sharing any music by him, just referring to his excellent CD published in Germany. See here.
Recently we received some AIR recordings from our friend KF, which we share here. Many thanks to him for his generosity.
